A handful of tomatoes, that is just about over (groan).

But made up for it roasting pablanos and frying peppers. Perfect weather for it, warm with a cool breeze. Nothing like that aroma.

Best crops of snow peas in years, still just enough for everyone to have a couple to munch raw, but more to come next week.

Lettuce and radishes and peppers for a salad tonight along with grilled pizza topped with the last of the garden tomatoes, basil and roasted peppers (yum).

Bok choy and then turnips next week, parships in a couple of weeks.

Butternut everywhere. Some big honkin’ acorn squash.

Some varmint got ahold of the last of the corn, looks like a hurricane went thru it.

Tomatoes weren’t very prolific here this year either, but we have had some to eat fresh almost everyday, and about 9 lbs. of romas in the freezer.

I am trying to come up with a salsa recipe without heat for hubby. My first attempt he said it tastes better than store bought. Then he came back and said, that he couldn’t eat as much of it.

After a eating a rather small amount, there’s some spice or flavor that kicks in, and he can’t eat any more. So it’s back to the drawing board. He looked at the list of ingredients, but couldn’t identify the one he was having trouble with.

Any way, I’ll just use a lb. each time, so I have nine tries-like a cat.LOL

Peppers have been great here too. Best year ever for them. My Basil plant is overdue for harvest. It’s in a small pot and has been growing since spring of 2010. I keep harvesting and it keeps on going.
